happy halloween, little mr. chicken!

For Mateo's first Halloween, we got him this cute little chicken costume... he will totally love us when he is grown up ;) He dutifully flapped his arms & practiced making "scary baby" noises (ie. creaking door, screeching, etc.) To celebrate candy day, we went to Ali & Belinda's lovely home to eat yummy food & hang out with some fun people.

Seriously, Papa, when can I take this thing off??
